Yesterday forenoon while cleaning small
rifle, the Rev. J. W. Hargrave accidentally
discharged the weapon and the ball striking
him in the under part of the left arm near
the shoulder, passed around the head of
the bone and was found by the surgeon at
the shoulder. MIR. Hargrave, who is fond
of hunting, had just received a handsome
new breech loading, siX-shooter shotgun
and was repairing his rifle with the inteTl-
ton of disposing of it. OF course he did not
know that the weapon was loaded, as it had
always been his custor, to empty n gun
before bringing it into the house. He says
he does not think he ever before put 1t away
loaded. 1t is a very unfortunate accident,
though no serious consequences are antici-
pated.-JOHraal Press.

A PUBLIC BENEFIT.

The people of Barton county will
soon be called upon to decide whether
they wish another line of railroad to
pass through the county. The election
has beed fixed for August 23d, and at
that time it is the duty of every voter
to decide by his ballot whether he de-
sires the road or not. This is a sub
ject of vital interest to every man in
the county, and it should be discussed
in a spirit beftting its gravity.
That we need the road, the county as
well as the city, no one will deny.
Every farmer knows full well that each
road built through the county will
benefit him individually. The only
pertinent question is, ''Are the rail-
road people asking too much and would
they not bnild it for less sum?" This
Is the proper way to discuss the matter.
Let US lay aside unreasoning prejudice
and look at the question as q people

Wedding Anniversary.

The handsome grounds of Mayor
A. j. Buckland, ON west Forest av-

night, and the happy voices of many
people were sounding in the moonlit
evening air until late hour, the oc-
casiOn being the tenth anniversary of
MIR. & Mrs. A. j. Buckland. A
large company of Great Bends best
citizens were present comprising most
of the old settlers of the city. A
number of estimates were made as to
how many people were present, and
they ranged from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred and twenty-five.
The numbers of the city council pre-
sented Mayor Buckland with hand

came up during the evening and
favored the company present with a
few choice selections in their usual
thoroughly artistic style. Ample re-
freshments were served during the
evening. The occasion was one long
to be remembered by all who were
present.

The Wet Umbrella Joke.
y. +. ARMSTRONG

The old practical joke of hald doz-
Ell young fellows raising dripping wet
umbrellas in the main doorway of a
public hall at the close of an entertain
ment before a crowded house on a
starlight night was played with entire
success few evenings ago in Harlem,
says the New York Times. The news
of the unexpected and most unwelcome
storm was communicated to others by
those of the audience who first saw the
umbrellas, and in that way it became
the exciting and exclusive subject of
conversation throughot the building.
Gentlemen carefully covered their silk
tiles with their handkerchiets, rolled up
the ends of the legs of their trousers
and turned up their coat collars.
Ladies prepared themselves in the
conventional way for a provoking walk
to the cars, and others sent their gas
liant escorts flying after umbrellas,
coaches and waterproofs. In about
ten minutes the real state of things,
hO-to-do, had been discovered, and
then came unbounded hilarity and a

In VIEW of the proposition that is
before our people tn relation to the

sire to say that nothing we can do will
more surely benefit our town and coun-

marks, ''the church and the school
house are about the first things a man
looks for when he approaches a town

his children to have an opportunity to
become educated and intelligent men

Mrs. Hetty Green, of New York

America, holding $4,000, 900 in her
own name.
Many preachers say that a man is
not religious because he had no morals.
Nonsense! One man gets religion and
he jumps up and shouts the praises to
God. Another man gives 81 600 to a
mission next Sunday, but never shouts.
Now, which would you bet on, if you
were betting man?-Sans Jones.
If you are not interested i'll seeing
the town in which you live, grow and
prosper you should move out of it.
You talk about colleges, factories and
railroads but when you simmer every
thing down in search of the boom you
will find that few enthusiastic, hard
working citizens started into it and are
keeping it going. 1t is the work of
those who have faith and are thor
oughly imbued with the idea that a
town is going to grow and outstrip it's
neighbors that keeps it in the 'front.'

The Dunkards, who form subject
of especial interest sin Kansas at pres
ent, trace their existence as a denom-
ination to Germany, where, i'll the year
1907, one Alexander Mack, with seven
others, combined themselves together
in reading the Scriptures and evolved
the theology of the Dunkard church.
Having come to an agreement on the
doctrines of the new church they with
drew from the fellowship of other
churches i'll which they had a member
ship, and baptised one another i'll the
river Elder and began to teach others.
They were prosecuted, of course, and
came to America, settling in German
town in 1929. Their proper church
name is German Baptist. Dunkards
is a nickname given to them, at first by
their pedo-Baptist enemies, on account
of their mode of baptising. The word
is derived from the German ''tunken,
to dip.

HERE is what the Chicago Inter
Ocean has to say of Kansas and Cali
fOrnia:
1T is nip and tuck between Cali
fornia and Kansas. They are both
young, but among the most prosperous
states in the union. Kansas is years
younger than California, is about one
half the size, but it has to-day over
100000 residents. 1t produced last
year ii 900 bushels of wheat, 1875 ,OOO,-
600 bushels of corn, and hogs and cat
tie unnumbered. California produced
more wheat, $4,000, 900 bushels, and
her vineyards and citrus fruits are Just
beginning to add largely to her wealth. -

KoKoMo. IND, June 80. 1887.
Mrs. STELLA AYRES:
My DEAR FRIEND:-I take pleasure
in answering your inquiries on the sub
ject of natural gas. We find this
treasure in Indiana usually from a
depth of 92O to $50 feet. Our wells
are ola, 92O and up to $50 feet. We
now have five wells, all successful, but
the last one is the strongest we'll in the
state, discharging about 100000
cubic feet of gas per day. The cost of
drilling our first well was 81 per foot,
including casing. The other four have
averaged about 81 500 per well, also in
Guiding casing. We here go through
the following formations: Drift or
soil, from three to fifteen feet; upper
silurean limestone, 400 feet; slate and
Lake Huron shale, about 800 feet,
when we reach the lower silurean, or
Trenton limestone, in which the gas is
found, in this we only have to go few
feet. We drill about an eight-inch
hole down to the shale land this has to be
cased with six-inch iron piping to keep
out surface water. The balance of the
way down is dry, and remains so down
to the Trenton limestone, where we get
either gas or salt water. will send
you some of our Kokoma papers, which
will give you other information.
